Vendors at Balloon Fiesta Park are hard at work with only a few hours left until Freedom Fourth gets underway. <\/p>\n
And despite hints that it might rain - organizers say the show will go on - rain or shine. <\/p>\n
The city of Albuquerque says Freedom Fourth is a family-friendly event that will start at 4 p.m. and culminate in a fireworks display right after dusk. <\/p>\n
Supervisor Bree Ortiz says gates will open at 3 p.m. and people should expect to see everything from a car show to a beer garden to a kid's playland - and of course, lots of yummy food. <\/p>\n
\"We do funnel cakes. we've been around forever,\" said Rich Lamb of Funnel Cake of New Mexico. \"We make them fresh. if there's a hundred people in line, each person in line will get a fresh funnel cake.\" <\/p>\n
The main music stage will first feature local talent - and then Grammy-winnning country group Diamond Rio. <\/p>\n
And finally, the sky will become the stage as the fireworks show will take place around 9:15 p.m. <\/p>\n
The city says it's made sure that there's not another small fire like the one that happened during the display last year. <\/p>\n
\"There's a thousand foot radius to make sure that the fireworks are safe,'\" said Ortiz. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
